A heavy North Italian helmet of Savoyard type, circa 1600

The helmet "of Savoyard type" was named after the unsuccessful siege of the city of Geneva by the Duke of Savoy in 1602, during which the Swiss managed to capture large quantities of these helmets. They are often referred to as death's head helmets on account of the round eye openings. See also: Godoy, Josef A., Les armets savoyards du Musée d'art et d'histoire de Geneve, Geneva 2002.
